Lu Yun's words made Gu Nuoer think about Ye Siming in her sleep all night.
The next day, she specially invited the twelfth prince Gu Ziyan.
When Gu Ziyan's tall and strong figure appeared in the Qiushui Palace, the third-class maids were all in awe of the twelfth prince's aura.
They all lowered their heads and led to a path leading to the main hall.
Gu Nuoer was talking to Concubine Qiao.
Gu Ziyan came in and said hello. His thick eyebrows and starry eyes were serious and a little nervous.
Concubine Qiao was wearing a water-red coat and skirt, with a dazzling phoenix hairpin on her head, and she was absolutely rich and beautiful.
Seeing the twelfth prince, she smiled kindly and said, "Yan'er is here. I don't see you often in the harem. Just now I heard Nuoer praise you for your great accomplishments in the autopsy certificate."
Gu Ziyan did not expect that Concubine Qiao, the ruler of the Sixth Palace, would not think that what he did was unlucky at all.
Her praise came from her heart and dispelled Gu Ziyan's slight embarrassment.
He shook his head and said in a hoarse and low voice: "My son... I dare not take credit. What I did was just to bring justice to the deceased."
Concubine Qiao nodded with a smile.
Gu Nuoer stood up and said in a sweet voice: "Mother, I have something to say with my twelfth brother. Let's leave first."
She grabbed her brother's wrist and walked out.
Concubine Qiao nodded: "Remember to come back for lunch at noon."
Gu Ziyan was flattered.
He was actually invited to dinner by Concubine Qiao.
Arriving at the corridor outside the palace, Gu Nuoer sighed.
Before he could speak, Gu Ziyan asked worriedly: "What trouble has happened to my sister? Why are you sighing?"
Gu Nuoer blinked her beautiful eyes and fully told the story of Aunt Luzhu's unfortunate death in the sea of fire.
When Gu Ziyan heard the end, there was a touch of regret on his face.
"Life and death are matters of fate, sister, please don't be too sad."
Gu Nuoer also understood this truth: "I invited my brother here this time because I want to give Aunt Luzhu some dignity. After all, brother Jingsheng and his grandmother depended on each other, and now he is alone."
"It stands to reason that the deceased should be buried after three days of rest. However, I have something busy these days and I'm afraid I won't be able to be there."
"I know that my brother knows some people who do white things. I would like to ask my brother to help me arrange the burial of Aunt Luzhu."
After hearing this, Gu Ziyan nodded immediately: "What's the problem? Just leave it to me. Sister, just be busy with you."
When the matter was settled, Gu Nuoer felt relieved.
Brother Twelve is a reliable and steady person who will definitely get things done.
At noon, Concubine Qiao's hospitality was so great that Gu Ziyan couldn't resist, so he had to stay for dinner.
During the banquet, Concubine Qiao laughed frequently and looked like a loving mother. She was very different from the rumored concubine who was decisive in killing and using thunderous means.
In the afternoon, Gu Nuoer went to see the second prince Gu Zitang.
Concubine Yifei's palace was luxurious and grand, with a layer of gold foil covering the floor.
As soon as you enter, you will be dazzled by the precious gems and jade carvings you can see.
When the second prince learned that his sister was coming, he arranged for dozens of plates of pastries and fruits to be prepared in advance.
Gu Nuoer was very considerate. After arriving, they chatted for a while and then had a few pastries.
The second prince held his chin up and looked at his sister with a smile.
It’s really hard to see enough.
How could he, Gu Zitang, have such a beautiful and well-behaved sister?
"Eat more, Nuo'er. If you like it, my brother will ask someone to cook it for you!"
Gu Nuoer hurriedly waved her little hands, covering her lips, with the unfinished cake still stuffed in her mouth.
"This is enough, I can't eat anymore, second brother~"
After swallowing, the little girl blinked her black eyes and said pitifully: "Second brother, I want to ask you for some pocket money."
